When it comes to jewelry appraisal values, it’s important to understand that prices for natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, and gold can fluctuate from year to year. These changes are driven by shifts in global supply and demand, market trends, and economic factors like inflation and currency strength. Natural diamond prices, for example, may rise or fall based on mining production and consumer demand, while lab-grown diamonds can experience price shifts as technology improves and availability increases. Gold, a key component in many jewelry pieces, is a globally traded commodity whose value is also highly sensitive to market conditions. Because of these factors, the appraised value of your jewelry can vary over time, and that is why Artigem provides our valuations services. Our goal is to have your valuation aligned with the current market and ensure that you pay the most appropriate premium to your insurance company.
